Spring 2026

I’m excited this spring because Emily Protain and others in the Brzostek lab and I are putting out bags to estimate arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) production and it’s relationship to Miscanthus yield, nutrient uptake, and soil C sequestration. We’re collaborating with the Morrissey Lab at WVU and making use of their set of Miscanthus plots where they manipulate nutrient inputs across a gradient of coal mining disturbance.
